"Network Configuration Operators" & SP2
- From: bmgoodmanva@xxxxxxxxx

Prior to SP2 I had added my users to the local "Network Configuration
Operators" local group. This allowed them to change their IP-related
information (static-to-dynamic and back again, enable/disable, etc.).
I have built a new image with SP2, but I find that users cannot change
any IP-related information. In fact, there seems to be a disconnect
(at times) between what the GUI shows and what you can see from a
command prompt.
For example, as an admin, I changed from DHCP to static and assigned IP
info. I was not prompted to reboot. The GUI and IPCONFIG show the
static info I just assigned. I then logged out and logged in as a
member of the "Network Configuration Operators" group. I tried to
change from static to DHCP. I was prompted to reboot. I again logged
in as a member of NCO. Now, when I pull up the properties for TCP/IP,
the gui shows "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS
server address automatically". When I type ipconfig, though, I still
see the static ip info that I configured as an admin. When I try to
ipconfig /release, I get a message "The operation failed as no adapter
is in the state permissible for this operation." This is what I would
expect to see when using a static address. So, although I am allowed
to make changes through the GUI, as a member of NCO, I am always
prompted to reboot, and, after rebooting, I can see no changes to the
configuration. This used to work.
I have seem comments of issues with NCO under SP2, but these seem like
speculation. I cannot find any hard facts.
Can anybody help?
